I know that July is a bad time to watch soccer (football) games in Europe, since most leagues are not playing. But we would still like to go see one, even if it's the friendly games. Does anyone know if there is any? | Mell Mel Fla Post Count: 4139 Msg: #2 214 days ago, March 14th 2008 | Hello Wanderlust :) | Where in Europe will u be and on which dates? I can find out which football clubs will be playing in those places on the dates u will be there.

But it might look something like this: Jul 6- July 10 Barcelona July 10 - July 15 Paris July 15 - July 31 somewhere in Germany and Autria, undecided. July 31 - Aug 5 Italy Thanks a bunch!

If anyone can say when the football games are those guys can. | Nobody came up with any answers yet so it looks like July is indeed a quiet month for football. If anyone gives any information I will post it here. Mel [Edited: 21:17 - Mell ] wanderlust35 wanderlust Post Count: 3 Msg: #5 210 days ago, March 18th 2008 | thanks Mel!

If you're heading to Italy, it's not much further to Slovenia or Croatia, where the season starts at the end of July. I went to Rijeka v Cibalia in the Croatian league last July - the stadium is carved into the rocks next to the Adriatic. I'd also recommend going to a match in Ljubljana, because it's such a great place to visit. You should also look out for the draws for the Uefa Cup qualifiers, as these take place in late July. Swiss and Austrian teams will be involved (www.uefa.com). [Edited: 15:02 - Andy Clarke ] Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 6 | ||||||||||||||
